- Description
The advent and maturation of digital photography and its associated workflows has increasingly become adopted in dentistry. Digital photography provides clinicians with a unique and powerful tool that can rapidly aid in diagnosis and treatment planning, enhance patient and interdisciplinary communication, serve as a medicolegal record, and facilitate documentation for educational or promotional uses. In order to maximize the benefits that digital photography can bring to one’s practice, it is incumbent on the clinician to become proficient and comfortable with operating digital photographic equipment. This course will provide a didactic overview of digital photography and its applications within restorative dentistry, as well as photographic setups, retraction methods, and methods for troubleshooting challenging clinical photographic scenarios.
Learning Objectives
At the completion of course, participants will be able to:
- Understand principles of digital photography, contemporary equipment options, and the advantages that this tool can have in your practice’s workflow.
- Discuss protocols for leveraging restorative digital documentation to facilitate improved interdisciplinary and patient communication to improve clinical outcomes
- Review how digital photography can serve as an adjunctive component of the medicolegal record of treatment, and promotion of one’s clinical achievements for educational or practice management purposes.
